Tolga made clear what we would do and who paid for what. He was INCREDIBLY kind, smart and entertaining. He met me in my lobby right on time and was a perfect gentleman! I will return in a few months and will confidently hire Tolga to take me on a private 2 day tour of Cappadocia. He was FABULOUS!!

3.Cultural and walking tours in Cappadocia region. It is such an incredible landscape therefore a perfect destination for bird watching and botanical trips, too.

Moreover;

-I can tailor all kinds of historical, cultural, folkloric, culinary, archeological, art history and faith tours depending on your interests. I can legally and effectively guide you at ALL the sights, sanctuaries, national parks, cultural centers and museums in Turkey as well as the Gallipoli and Anatolian war memorials. I can put together special iteneraries and arrange tour services in the Biblical Eastern, Agean Sea, Black Sea, Mediterranean, Mesopotamian, Cappadocian and Central Anatolian Regions upon your request. My services are in English.

Transportation by tour guide:

I will be happy to meet you anywhere convenient such as the airport or hotel lobby. I can arrange air conditioned private transportation in Istanbul upon your request. We can always take a taxi as well since the fees are at very reasonable deals in Istanbul. When possible, I recommend using public tranportation in Istanbul because it is very effective, cheap and saves us a lot of time in the city traffic. It is also an added experience to your visit since the tram network of Istanbul operates since 1871 and the city owns the second oldest tube in the world.
